Thanks everybody for all the great comments. This is indeed homebrew- a brown ale that came out pretty good, if I do say so myself. The glass in front is not homebrew. I didn't know how long it was going to have to sit out and I didn't want to waste one. The differing fill levels kind of bothered me, but I didn't have enough full bottles left to be able to pick and choose.
The strange shadow in the glass is not reflected, its actually a shadow cast on the background by one of my lamps. Didn't notice it at the time the shot was taken.
I kinda liked the highlights- though I guess blowing out highlights IS the cardinal sin in digital photography. I find it interesting that nobody commented that the glass looked dirty (it wasn't, but backlighting can be unkind). That was what bothered me most about the photo.
Must be some people just didn't get it. I thought this image was outstanding. Thought it would finish in the top 5. I liked it a lot. Very Nicely done...!
Love how the bottles and glass are lined up, and the shadows made. Excellent lighting, great highlights. Nicely cropped...no extraneous and distracting stuff going on. Great job!!
This is an interesting idea. I like the shadow created in this image from the placement of the light source. I also like how the light source shines through the glass. Nice work.
Yep - that is a good start! Nice light and composition. Slightly distracting shadow refracted in the drink, and highlight is blown. Good solid image, though.
You got gipped...the last bottle isn't nearly as full as the first one, and is less than the other three! ;^) Neat photo. You're probably going to take a few hits on the blown out glare on the glass. Good luck.
